Re: 4.9 GB Art repo not recovering afert 1.1.4 upgrade to 1.2.0

What version of BerkeleyDB did you have before, and what version did you
upgrade to?

I ran this on each instance to get the different version information:
 - gunwin32 od.exe on the highest log file
- svnserve.exe --version

Before the upgrade:
svnserve, version 1.1.4 (r13838)
compiled Apr 3 2005, 22:02:31
Size File
46,753,641 log.0000000986
4,825,882,624 strings
Reports (0x00000008), the 4.2 BDB
F:\Backup>od -j12 -N8 -tx4 log.0000000986
0000014 00040988 00000008
0000024

After the upgrade:
svnversion, version 1.2.0 (r14790)
compiled May 22 2005, 22:40:26
Size File
8,388,608 log.0000000999
4,896,718,848 strings
Reports (0x0000000a), the 4.3 BDB
F:\repos\Art_1\db>od -j12 -N8 -tx4 log.0000000999
0000014 00040988 0000000a
0000024

Instead of 'svnadmin recover', have you tried using Berkeley's native
'db_recover' utility, passing it the '-c' option, meaning "perform
catastrophic recovery"?

This was a good suggestion, I tried it, but this was the result.

F:\repos\Art_1\db>db_recover.exe -c -v
Finding last valid log LSN: file: 175 offset 7086368
Recovery starting from [174][28]
db_recover: Recovery function for LSN 175 7066018 failed on backward pass
db_recover: PANIC: No such file or directory
db_recover: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
db_recover: DB_ENV->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

F:\repos\Art_1\db>db_recover.exe -V
Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.28: (April 22, 2005)

From here:
At this point, I either have to try creating it new repo again, with Import
( someone's working copy without .svn folders ) or migrate back to DB 4.2 or
even back to SVN

I've already tried hotbackup and also, dump then load. All of these make
progress up till the end and fill before compleation.
Note: I was able to get SVNADMIN verify f:\repos\Art to run just fine. At
one point, after doing this, we could update and commint (once or twice) and
then faild. Trying this again did not help and verify always compleates
successfuly with no errors *strange

Thanks for everyone's help, please keep the suggestions comming. We like the
product and have 6 or our 7 repos converted and running just fine under
1.2.0, just not this 2+ GB one. All of our other upgrades from Oct. 04 have
been fine.

Cheers,
